Surroundings
Altea
The blue dome of its church, located in its popular square, is one of the symbols of the Costa Blanca. A seaside town full of steep and narrow cobbled streets with viewpoints and small
roundabouts overlooking the sea and the mountains.
Its tranquillity and peace and quiet have made Altea a paradise for artists and craftsmen whose shops and stalls populate the Old Town.
Guadalest
On the top of a rocky outcrop, its rock-hewn houses overlook an extensive valley framed by the mountains of the region. The village has been declared a historic-artistic site, and has two
neighbourhoods. The castle quarter, perched on the top of a crag and protected by the old wall, and the Arrabal quarter, which spreads out on the slopes of the mountain.
Finestrat
This is a small inland village bordered by mountain ranges, which gives it its agricultural character. Historically it has been a place for the defence of the coast from the presence of pirates
from the watchtowers built on it.
From its Moorish castle, a magnificent vantage point from which to contemplate the Marina Baixa, numerous hiking routes begin.
Calpe
A tourist town situated at the foot of the Peñón de Ifach, declared a Natural Park, from where you can enjoy a splendid panoramic view. Other reasons to visit this town are its typical seaside streets,
its promenade and its port.

Alicante
It unites tradition and modernity in its streets open to the Mediterranean. Its emblematic and busy promenade, the Explanada, parallel to the port, Santa Barbara Castle or a tour of the Old Town
are some of the places of interest in the city.
The provincial capital, less than an hour's drive from Benidorm, is a great place to visit and enjoy.
Benidorm Island
Opposite the beaches, Benidorm Island is connected to the coast by a service of swallows, the name given to these characteristic boats that offer us the
opportunity to take a pleasant excursion.
Its waters are inhabited by a large number of marine species.
Elche
Testimony of a past of splendour of the Iberian culture, in which the Lady of Elche was sculpted, a fortified city of Al-Andalus until its Christian reconquest in 1265. Elche is located
in the most extensive palm grove in Europe. The Palm Grove, a legacy of the Andalusian agricultural culture, has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
Valencia
Without a doubt, the City of Arts and Sciences is more than enough reason to visit Valencia, but we must not forget its beautiful historic centre, which we recommend
you visit without haste. The Cathedral and the Miguelete, La Lonja, La Estación del Norte, Las Torres de Serrano and Las Torres de Quart, the Palacio de Dos Aguas.
